Addtional Settings
Name |
Description |
|---|---|
| Set Filter Before Rebuilding Cache | When enabled a filter can be set before the cache of the datasource (see Datasources is rebuilt. This can help speeding up the cache rebuilding process, especially for very large or complex data models. |
| Filter Field Name | The name of the field to filter before rebuilding the cache. This property is only applicable if Set Filter Before Rebuilding Cache is enabled. |
| Filter Value | An Expression that returns the value to filter to before rebuilding the cache. This property is only applicable if Set Filter Before Rebuilding Cache is enabled. |
| Default Theme | The identification of the default Theme to be activated in the datasource. |
| Preload App | When enabled, Mail & Deploy will preload all visualizations and sheets within the app when connecting to the app. This may take a bit of time but speeds up any communication with the app after the preload has completed. If you use the datasource to create large reports and the app has a complex data structure, preloading the app may speed up the total execution time. If you only export small parts of the app, preloading the app may actually be slower than communicating with the app without preloading. |
